Chapter 7 - Immortal Cultivation Part Five

Even though Mei Liling knew this would be very hard on Ah Chun. She had great hope for her newfound daughter to surpass everyone in the world and stand at the apex of strength. This was the reason why Mei Liling used the Spirit Spring in order to open her meridians and reforge her bones. To allow her to gain strength at an astonishing rate.

A full day almost past and the Spiritual Qi in the Spirit Spring was starting to fade at an extraordinary rate. All the impurities in Ah Chun's body oozed out of her body and dissipated into the air. The once bright blue glowing spring was now only giving off a dull glow. What was making Mei Liling speechless was that after the whole process was done, the Spiritual Qi was flooding into Ah Chun like a broken dam and this girl was sucking it all in with nothing being wasted.

*Hong Hong Hong*

In an instant, Ah Chun broke all the way through to the ninth stage of Qi Gathering. This was just too surprising. Mei Liling's words were caught in her throat as she watched as the Spiritual Qi swirl around Ah Chun and continue to flow into her.

*Hooooong*

The last wall burst apart allowing Ah Chun to Qi Condensation. A small orb of condensed Spiritual Qi formed in Ah Chun's dantian. Proving she was now a stage one Qi Condensation cultivator. Ah Chun had gone from an ordinary little girl to being a stage one Qi Condensation cultivator. This was extremely unheard of. This happened mainly in part on how Mei Liling opened Ah Chun's meridians. Ah Chun's meridians are tens of times wider than a normal cultivator. Meaning when she cultivates the Spiritual Qi will flow into her like a rushing river. A normal cultivator's meridians and dantian would explode if it had this much Spiritual Qi rushing through it. Crippling them of their cultivation. The abundant amount of Spiritual Qi that was in the Spirit Spring had enabled her to accomplish such a feat.

After breaking through to being a Stage One Qi Condensation cultivator. The flow of Spiritual Qi slowed down until it eventually stopped and dispersed back into the air. The Spirit Spring had completely dried up. The once skinny and sickly child had now plumped up and her body now looked healthy. Her cheeks filled out and were no longer sunken in and had a tinge of red to them. Her once dry and cracked hair was now silky smooth. Her once tan skin became as white as snow and as smooth as pristine jade. These were all the effects of being an Immortal Cultivator.

Ah Chun slowly opened her eyes blinking lightly. Her long eyelashes fluttered as her deep dark eyes looked around. Flashes of light could faintly be seen streaking across her eyes. She looked down at her arms and her body and was surprised at how much she had changed. Her bones crackled as she moved as they loosened up. Ah Chun felt as if she had been reborn. She had never felt this good in her entire life.

"How do you feel?" Mei Liling was smiling as she handed Ah Chun a white one-piece dress to cover herself.

"Chun'er has never felt this good in her entire life. Mother this is amazing!" Ah Chun's sweet little smile revealed two little dimples on her cheeks.

After the effects of cultivating for the first time. Ah Chun was finally able to show her beauty that was hidden under the guise of malnutrition. You could tell when this little girl grew up she would be a beauty that could cause the downfall of a country.

"Chun'er you have really surprised Mother! You actually skipped Qi Gathering realm and broke through to Stage One Qi Condensation!" Mei Liling pulled Ah Chun into a hug she was really happy for Ah Chun.

Ah Chun felt the warm embrace of Mei Liling and felt happy that she could make her new mother happy. After a moment of bonding, Mei Liling led Ah Chun back to her resting space. With a wave of her hand, she had carved out a bed from the cave wall for Ah Chun. When Ah Chun saw this she was dumbstruck. Mei Liling just giggled and flipped her hand and in it, a jade slip appeared.

"Mother how did you do that!?" Ah Chun's eyes were wide with surprise. Ah Chun hoped that one day she would be able to pull off such feats.

"In time you will be able to do the same as long as you diligently practice!" Mei Liling placed a jade slip into Ah Chun's hand.

"This here is what's called a jade slip. If you place it to your head and concentrate your Spirit Power into it. It will teach you a cultivation method." After finishing what she had to say Mei Liling looked at Ah Chun who seemed to be a bit confused. That's when Mei Liling had remembered she had yet to teach Ah Chun how to control her Spirit Power!

"Um, Chun'er come sit on the bed in a lotus position. Mother will teach you how to control your Spirit Power." Somewhat embarrassed about her forgetfulness Mei Lilings cheeks showed a tinge of red.

"Now Chun'er close your eyes and clear your mind. Try to feel the Spirit Power within your body." Mei Liling slowly instructed Ah Chun on how to control her Spirit Power.

It took Ah Chun about ten minutes to grasp the concept of controlling her Spirit Power. Mei Liling was very surprised at how fast Ah Chun learned. It was like she was a sponge that would suck up everything you taught her.

After finally grasping how to use her Spirit Power. Ah Chun put her Spirit Power into the jade slip. Soon all kinds of information was put into Ah Chun's head. This cultivation technique was called the "Heavenly Divine Lotus". Heavenly Divine Lotus was an ancient Cultivation technique. But since the strict requirements in order to even start cultivating this cultivation method was so very hard to come by, no one has ever been able to cultivate it. Mei Liling got it from her sect as an extra during a bet she had with a fellow sect member. Mei Liling never thought that a spur of the moment bet would allow for this cultivation method to find its rightful owner.

The strict requirements required one to have Heaven Divine Spiritual Roots as well as being under the age of ten to even start cultivating this cultivation method. Ah Chun just happened to fill both of those requirements. It was as if the heavens had lead Ah Chun to Mei Liling just so she could give her this technique and guide her.

"After you finish reading the cultivation method. Do just as it says for circulating your Spiritual Qi in your body. We will stay here for two weeks while you cultivate. Mother will be right here watching over you." Mei Liling smiled and patted Ah Chun on the head.

Ah Chun sat on the stone bed and circulated her Spiritual Qi based on what was written in the Heavens Divine Lotus jade slip. Once she had gotten used to circulating her Spiritual Qi. Ah Chun kept cultivating according to the Heaven Divine Lotus cultivation method. This went on for the full two weeks. During this time she found that even though she had not stopped once to take a break. That she did not feel tired, hungry or thirsty. But after the end of the two weeks, she had actually broken through to Stage Five of the Qi Condensation Realm. Even Mei Liling was surprised to see that she had broken through so much and she did it within two weeks! The cultivation method combined with this girls talent was simply too heaven-defying.

"Mother! Chun'er broke through again!" Ah Chun couldn't wait to report her breakthrough to Mei Liling. So much so that she almost fell off the stone bed when she got up to fast.

"Silly girl. Careful or you might hurt the floor with your head. Take a few hours to stabilize your cultivation first before getting up." Mei Liling giggled as she couldn't help but tease Ah Chun. Ah Chun lowered her head and her little cheeks turned pink and then repositioned herself to stabilize her cultivation.

"Now that the two weeks are over we will now head back to Chun'er's home. Chun'er come over here and hold Mother's hand. Mother has already set up the teleportation array to the outside." Hearing this Ah Chun trotted over and held on to Mei Lilings hand.
